"When people say, 'Oh, Clifford must have known,' the fact is, I would have been the last one to know," says Clifford. "I would have been the last one [BCCI] would have told. ... Because maybe they did use my good name at the beginning. Maybe they did depend to some extent upon my reputation. All right, if that's an asset then it's an asset. But they wouldn't tell me what was going on, because the day they would have told me was the day that I would have left them."

Clifford also worked hard to sink LBJ's Vietnam policy.
